How long do we have, statistically, before the next asteroid wipes us out?

Anytime now. We're 500 years past due and nothing happend in 2012.

Will it happen before or after the next yellowstone eruption ?

You have until 2030
Then in 2032 another impact
You may not be wiped out
What to worry bout is the core of the earth heats up and the mantle releases water trapped inside and 3 times the amount of water on the earth right now will be on earths surface. Then you have to wait for it to be absorbed and pressured back into the mantle for life to resume.
The biggest pocket is under the USA
No wonder they didn't discover the USA until later it sunk

There is a eruption every day a yellow stone.
The pressure is so hot in the mantle there is lava but more water pressurized in the lave. Density when it gets to the surface.

As regular as clockwork
Yellowstone National Park’s “Old Faithful” is the most famous geyser in the world. Good weather or bad, Old Faithful can be counted on to shoot up to 10,000 gallons (38,000 l) of water into the air over a four-minute period. It’s a performance that has been repeated faithfully, about once an hour, for more than 200 years!

A gallon of water on the surface is as big as a atom in the mantle do to the high pressure. High pressure makes heat atoms move in heat.
In yellow stones case there will water hot water mixture with minerals minerals are heavy and the water expands in lower pressure at the surface.
Because of the heat of the water it will cause rain along the latitude of the jet stream around the globe

It’s already been calculated in terms of probability. tldr since we are not unique observers, it becomes increasingly unlikely our consciousnesses emerged this early the more humans will ever be born

>Denoting by N the total number of humans who were ever or will ever be born, the Copernican principle suggests that any one human is equally likely (along with the other N − 1 humans) to find themselves at any position n of the total population N, so humans assume that our fractional position f = n/N is uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 1] prior to learning our absolute position.

>f is uniformly distributed on (0, 1) even after learning of the absolute position n. That is, for example, there is a 95% chance that f is in the interval (0.05, 1), that is f > 0.05. In other words, we could assume that we could be 95% certain that we would be within the last 95% of all the humans ever to be born. If we know our absolute position n, this implies an upper bound for N obtained by rearranging n/N > 0.05 to give N < 20n.

>If Leslie's figure[5] is used, then 60 billion humans have been born so far, so it can be estimated that there is a 95% chance that the total number of humans N will be less than 20 × 60 billion = 1.2 trillion. Assuming that the world population stabilizes at 10 billion and a life expectancy of 80 years, it can be estimated that the remaining 1140 billion humans will be born in 9120 years. Depending on the projection of world population in the forthcoming centuries, estimates may vary, but the main point of the argument is that it is unlikely that more than 1.2 trillion humans will ever live on Earth.

Not sure what you mean. The space program stopped in the 70s if it continued we could of had maybe a solution.
